Exmoor, North Devon and Somerset
North Devon contains a quarter of Exmoor National Park and has a wonderful coastal landscape, with moorland rivers draining to a wild rocky coastline with sandy beaches, attractive harbour towns, rocky headlands and cliffs, and a large estuary.
Somerset as well as being home to the balance of Exmoor National Park is a rural county of rolling hills such as the Mendip Hills and the Quantock Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and large flat expanses of land including the Somerset Levels.

Bossington Beach - Somerset
Bossington beach is compossed of a steeply shelving shingle bar that has extended across Porlock Bay, seperating the flood plain of the Horner Water from the sea. The Horner Water has no mouth, instead the water pools up in a lagoon and seeps through the beach to reach the sea. At low tide the river can be seen resurging through the shingle beach. A recent sea-breach of the shingle bar has meant that the agricultural land to the south has become innundated with salt water. A decison has been made to allow managed retreat, rather than repairing the breach.
